For my creative writing class, I chose to interview Joy Jones: math teacher extraordinaire. This was an odd interview though, as she preferred to write the answers to my questions down herself on a sheet of paper that I provided. Anyway, here are the questions i wrote out for her, and the answers she wrote back:
QUESTION (Q): How long have you been teaching?
ANSWER (A):32 years at St. A and 3 years at public schools.
Q: Why did you become a math teacher?
A: I liked math.
Q: What is your favorite class to teach?
A: AP Calculus and Advanced Math.
Q: Do you like your college algebra students better? (That's my class)
A: Of course.
Q: What was your favorite grade that you ever taught?
A: I actually couldn't read what she wrote for this one...sorry Mrs. Jones...
Q: Who is your favorite student?
A: Too many to name!
Q: Are the freshman as bad as Mary Jo and I were?
A: NO!
Q: Are you and Poston archenemies?
A: Of course.
Q: What about Mrs. Stolz?
A: Definitely.
Well, even though she won't say it, I still think Mary Jo Bushur is her all-time favorite student. And her favorite class to teach SHOULD have been our freshman year Algebra I class. (not that I could read her writing for that question anyway..)
And Mary Jo and I weren't really THAT bad.
And the fact that she likes math is a tad bit strange...
But overall, Mrs. Jones answered my questions pretty well. So, thanks Jones!
